Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, low-carb like raspberries or blackberries)
1 tablespoon keto sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit blend)
1 tablespoon water (for sauce)
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients for the pancakes: coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk them together well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes; coconut flour absorbs liquid quickly, which helps create a fluffier texture.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and set. Flip carefully as coconut flour pancakes are delicate.
While pancakes cook, prepare the sauce: Place the berries, keto sweetener, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan.
Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Mash the berries gently with a spoon if needed.
Serve the warm pancakes immediately, topped with the berry sauce.
Notes
Coconut flour batter will be thick. If it seems too dry after resting, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time until a thick, spoonable batter forms.
Use medium-low heat to prevent the pancakes from burning before the center cooks through.
For a richer sauce, add a small squeeze of lemon juice after removing it from the heat.
